Album Notes & Community Reviews

As a foundational pillar of the burgeoning Los Angeles deathrock scene, the trio's debut is a raw, aggressive blast of gothic punk. 'Cry for Help' pairs Eva O's shrieking, theatrical vocals with abrasive, feedback-drenched guitars and morbid, occult-themed lyricism. The record stands alongside the early work of Christian Death as a defining text of West Coast goth-punk aggression.
